Chapter 121 Immortal Mortal
Emperor Liang's eyes were full of surprise, even panic.
There are monks in the clan, and there are also monks trained in the palace. The old eunuch in the Sutra Collection Building used to clean the attic when his grandfather was in power, and he is still alive today.
But this was far from resolving his panic.
Seven monks in the enshrinement building took action at the same time. How could Wen Yue be alive and walk in front of him?
The lights in the royal study were brightly lit, and the other young eunuchs had already been evacuated by Gao Quan.
Gao Quan didn't expect that despite all his warnings, there would still be a chance of survival if Wen Yue didn't come back. Unexpectedly, Wen Yue came back and appeared in front of Emperor Liang again across the blockade of worshiping immortal masters.
He felt that Wen Yue had become different, as if he had become more pure.
Wen Yue did not want to kill Emperor Liang. Liang needed a wise king to prosper and the people to live a better life.
Except for being confused in the art of imperial balance, Emperor Liang performed well in other aspects.
He accepts advice, follows good advice, has the ability to think independently, and can also use embroidered clothes to shrink his power.
It’s just that sometimes we don’t treat ordinary people as human beings.
There is nothing that can be done about it. As the third generation emperor of Daliang, he was born in a deep palace and raised as a woman. He does not have any deformity, but is very addicted to the art of balancing, which is already rare.
In the art of checks and balances, there is no problem in using the inner court to balance the outer court. Without supervision, corruption will breed.
Relying on the self-consciousness of civil servants and military generals is ridiculous and generous.
He didn't feel anything was wrong before, but now that he had jumped out of the well and looked at it from a higher level, he didn't feel there was anything wrong. He just felt that the struggle for power was really disturbing and annoying.
He has the ability to suppress everything in front of him that makes him impatient. Naturally, he has to make his inner thoughts clear and clear the obstacles.
Wen Yue looked at the old eunuch standing next to Emperor Liang. This man was very handsome.
Following Wen Yue's gaze, Emperor Liang also looked to his side, his pupils narrowing slightly. There was no one beside him just now, but now there is one.
He knew this man. He was the old eunuch who swept the stairs in the Sutra Pavilion.
With this person beside him, Emperor Liang breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened a lot.
Emperor Liang was really afraid that Wen Yue would kill him directly.
The old eunuch hid his hands in the shadow beside the seat and remained inconspicuous.
Tu Shanjun inside the banner stared at the old eunuch, whose strength was at the seventh level of Qi training. It's a pity that he is getting older, his energy and blood are declining, and his strength is still declining. It is estimated that he will fall back to the middle stage of Qi training in a few years.
Wen Yue didn't care about the old eunuch, he had confidence in Mr. If he is invincible, Mr. Now will remind him.
"You are still alive." Emperor Liang said with a complicated tone. He did not expect Wen Yue to survive.
Wen Yue looked at Emperor Liang, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please bring Zheng Zhong."
Emperor Liang was at a loss for words. He was silent for a long time and then asked, "How about I order him to be punished and sent to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb?"
Wen Yue didn't speak, just shook his head.
Of course he knew what Emperor Liang meant. Emperor Liang did not want him to kill Zheng Zhong on the spot. So Emperor Liang came up with a compromise, which was to assign Zheng Zhong to guard the tomb.
Regardless of whether Zheng Zhong was intercepted and killed by Wen Yue on the road, or after arriving at the mausoleum, Gao Quan arranged for Zheng Zhong to be planted in a manure pit and suffocated to death, as long as he did not die in the palace.
That was the second-in-command in the inner court. If Zheng Zhong died here, as the emperor, he would lose all face and dignity.
Not to mention facing the officials, he would never be able to raise his head in front of Wen Yue.
Emperor Liang suddenly raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and his tone of voice changed a bit: "Really not possible?"
"As long as you leave the palace, I absolutely don't care where Zheng Zhong goes."
"Aiqing, is it really not possible?"
The majestic emperor who used to be as inexpressible as Pinghu in the court now had to use a pleading tone just to keep his face.
Wen Yue lowered his head. He didn't want to see the former king like this.
But he had no choice. He had to use this thunderous method to scare everyone, so that all those who wanted to plot against him would be afraid of him and not dare to have any thoughts.
Today he was soft-hearted and agreed to Emperor Liang's request. If someone will continue to deal with him tomorrow, will he still agree to the request and give the other party a decent way to die?
No, this was never what he wanted.
Wen Yue's face became a little more distorted. When he thought about the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers, when he thought about the old man Xiang, San Hu, Wen Guang... so many people died because of him, how could he let Zheng Zhong die in a decent way? .
It took Geng Lie Ling Chi three hundred blows to kill him.
Wen Yue didn't need Zheng Zhong to suffer, he just wanted him to disappear into thin air, as if he had never been in this world.
Wen Yue is still talking nicely now because he gave Emperor Liang face, because the people of Liang need the current Emperor Liang.
Wen Yue never forgot his original intention. What he wanted to protect was the people of Daliang.
Seeing that Emperor Liang wanted to say something else, the old eunuch beside him shook his head slightly.
Emperor Liang's expression was gloomy. He didn't have spiritual roots and didn't know how to be a monk, but he was also a first-rate master in the internal refining realm. There are so many things filled with mortal energy and blood stored in the palace, even a pig should be able to hold them.
What's more, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he doesn't dare to slack off at all.
But a monk is a monk.
Monks are more transcendent beings, and the so-called first-class Zang refiners are just slightly stronger ants in the eyes of others.
The king of ants is still an ant.
"Come here, tell Zheng Zhong."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Liang seemed to have drained all his strength, slumped down on the dragon chair and closed his eyes.
Zheng Zhong walked to the meeting hall with an anxious mood.
As the second-in-command in the inner court, he also got the news.
He should have been afraid, but who would have thought that Wen Yue used a stupid move and killed a third-grade official of the imperial court in anger. Even the great power he had in the sky had disappeared after killing Geng Lie.
Your Majesty will definitely let the worshiper deal with Wen Yue. If the worshiper fails, then send a request to the Wuling Sect standing behind him.
As everyone knows, his ideas are too limited, and he doesn't understand the power of monks.
What he didn't expect was that there was no tense atmosphere in the hall.
There were only three people on the scene, His Majesty, the old eunuch from the Scripture Library, and the white-haired man standing in the hall with his back to him.
Wen Yue had already sensed the person coming without the need to release his consciousness.
"My servant comes to see Your Majesty."
The visitor quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Zheng Zhong didn't know what outcome was waiting for him, and he felt uneasy. He couldn't raise his head without hearing His Majesty's response.
Emperor Liang is in a complicated mood now. He feels that he is useless. Zheng Zhong is his domestic slave and he has no way to deal with it.
No, it is forced and cannot be dealt with.
And because Wen Yue became an immortal master, he was no longer his minister.
Everyone agrees that the immortal master is transcendent from the world.
When Emperor Liang faced Zheng Zhong's kowtow, he didn't know how to respond. His brows were furrowed, his expression was tangled but helpless, and he remained silent.
He could only wave his hand and let Wen Yue handle it on his own, he didn't want to interfere too much.
Zheng Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, became even more frightened. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Why has it taken so long and your Majesty hasn't let me get up yet?"
Wen Yue grabbed Zheng Zhong's collar, lifted him up from the ground, and laughed: "We finally meet."
But that smile looked inexplicably ferocious.
"Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty!"
Zheng Zhong shouted angrily, trying to shake Wen Yue away, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break away from Wen Yue's control.
"My name is Wen Yue."
Hearing this, Zheng Zhong's pupils immediately dilated. He was shocked and turned pale. He raised his finger and pointed at Wen Yue. He didn't say anything for a long time.
"you……"
"I've already taken care of it, Geng Lie, now it's your turn."
"Do you have any last words to say?" Wen Yue did not take action, but told Zheng Zhong frankly.
Wen Yue was not in a hurry, and Tu Shanjun did not rush him. In fact, in Tu Shanjun's opinion, it is better to let his enemies be aggrieved ghosts, and there is no need to explain to them the ins and outs of the matter.
Just like when he turned against Zhao Shixian and Zhou Liang that day, if it weren't for the need to ask Zhou Liang questions, Tu Shanjun wouldn't talk too much with them.
But this is Wen Yue, he behaves like this and will tell others clearly.
Even though his personality has changed after the great change, he still retains most of his original temperament.
"You are the ones blocking my way."
Zheng Zhong was also very stubborn. He just stared at Wen Yue and that was all he said until now.
If it blocks the road, it must be cleared.
Do you want to be so merciless and stand still for the rest of your life, living a precarious life as a little eunuch who is bullied by others? Any steward can kill him, and any empress or concubine can kill him with a stick.
He wants to gain the respect of others, but also wants not to be bullied.
Wen Yue nodded slightly: "Okay, you can be considered a person. Now that you have said your last words, go and die."
"I don't accept my fate!"
Zheng Zhong roared, the inner energy in his body exploded, and he punched Wen Yue.
A light-colored barrier stood in front of Zheng Zhong, blocking his progress.
No matter how hard he punched, he couldn't break the barrier.
"Why!" Zheng Zhong stood still blankly.
Is this the difference between mortals and Qi practitioners?
Zheng Zhong did not seek help from Emperor Liang. When Wen Yue stood here intact, he knew that Emperor Liang could not control the current Wen Yue at all.
One punch.
With a bang, the sternum in front of Zheng Zhong's heart immediately sunk.
The heart was broken by this punch.
Zheng Zhong's eyes dimmed, and his body twitched slightly for two times without any breath, and fell to the ground weakly.
Wen Yue used his big hand to pull out Zheng Zhong's soul.
Use magic power to grind the soul into pieces, and finally only a little bit of starlight slipped through the gaps between Wen Yue's fingers.
By the time Emperor Liang came to his senses, Wen Yue had already left.
Emperor Liang sat on his chair, stared at the door in a daze, and murmured, "Cheng Lao, can't you even stop him?"
The old eunuch standing next to Emperor Liang looked at the door, then at the deeply shocked Emperor Liang, and then shook his head.
He could stop Wen Yue, but he could not stop the guardian Yin spirit standing behind Wen Yue in the front hall.
That is a being more powerful than him.
"no way."
"He is very strong, surprisingly strong."
A soft word fell on Emperor Liang's ears.
Emperor Liang did not expect to get such an answer. He finally sighed: "It turns out that immortality is more desirable than power."
Emperor Liang recognized the reality clearly, and he suddenly understood why practitioners did not interfere with the secular world.
It's because they are too powerful, and many people will die if they interfere even slightly.
After all, he is only human.
If you report the matter to the Shang Sect, the Wuling Sect may not only ignore it, but may even think that a mortal dares to offend the Qi Practitioner and kill him.
When Emperor Liang came to his senses and wanted to look for Chenglao, there was no one around him.
